Maintenance Notes:
-
-
Pruning: Lightly prune after each flowering flush to encourage repeat blooms and maintain a tidy, bushy shape. Perform a harder prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or weak wood and stimulate new growth
-
Feeding: Roses benefit from regular feeding. Apply a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring, after each bloom cycle, and again in mid-summer to promote strong flowering and healthy foliage
-
Watering: Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and suppress weeds
-
Deadheading: Remove spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering and improve the plant’s appearance
-
Disease Prevention: Although Rosa ‘Charm’ has excellent disease resistance, ensure good air circulation around the plant and avoid overhead watering to further prevent issues like black spot or mildew
